“I bought this for my daughter thinking they would enjoy a good Judy Blume. I'm glad I read it first. I was thinking this could be for a 13 year old and I wouldn't want my daughter to read some of the subject matter at that age. I'm not a prude, but I am modest and some of this book made me blush.”

“This story was really beautiful. The two girls remain friends through stuff that i would not forgive. Caitlin is a crazy girl who doesn't know how to control herself, and Victoria is a reality check type of girl who is almost shy. together they go on quite a few adventures an martha's vinyard and beyond. I thought the sadness and hope of the end of the book portayed a depth the book had hidden from the audience until then. My only issue is with one scene that is brushed over when i thought it should have been very important. Other than that, this book was amazing.”

“I gave in to peer pressure and read this. While my girlfriends were swooning over how great a read it was, I couldn't believe I was still reading it. Not that it was all that bad, it was just ... well, okay, and hardly worth the gushing. And I remember thinking, "After all that couldn't MORE of them have died? Just ONE?"”

“ When Victoria Leonard answers the phone in her Manhattan office, Caitlin's voice catches her by surprise. Vix hasn't talked to her oldest friend in months. Caitlin's news takes her breath away- and Vix is transported back in time, back to the moment she and Caitlin Somers first met, back to the casual betrayals and whispered confessions of their long, complicated friendship, back to the magical island where two friends became summer sisters.

Caitlin dazzled Vix from the start, sweeping her into the heart of the unruly Somers family, into a world of privilege, adventure, and sexual daring. Vix's bond with her summer family forever reshapes her ties to her own, opening doors to opportunities she had never imagined - until the summer she falls passionately in love. Then, in shattering moment on a moonswept Vineyard beaches, everything changes, exposing a dark undercurrent in her extraordinary friendship with Caitlin that will haunt them through the years.
As their story carries us from Santa Fe to Martha's Vineyard, from New York to Venice, we come to know the men and women who shape their live. And as we follow the two women on the paths they each choose, we wait for the inevitable reckoning to be made in the fine spaces between friendship and betrayal, between love and freedom.
Summer Sisters is a riveting exploration of the choices that define our lives, of friendship and love, of the families we are born into and those we struggle to create. For every woman who has ever had a friend too dangerous to forgive and too essential to forget, Summer Sisters will glue you to every page, reading and remembering.”“Judy Blume can be quite naughty sometimes in this book but the story is lovely. It's all about friendship of two very different girls as they grow up with very different life-styles. I was not expecting the ending although it makes sense. I've been reading Judy Blume books since I was in Middle School and I enjoy her books for adults just as well.”

It's really well written and a total page turner. If you like stories about friendships between women and the twists and turns of love and life, this book will not dissapoint.”

“I can't believe that one line about him being glad they chose for him. Something about that angers me.”
